They\u2019re still something I make for my family pretty often! My kids love to pick all of their toppings. But because taco fixings are so delicious, (and I usually have some left over in my fridge) I thought we would try the \u2018haystack\u2019 concept with Mexican-inspired toppings instead. Let me tell you, it\u2019s a winner!<\/p>\n<p>It all starts with a bed of white rice. (You could even use <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/mexican-rice\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Mexican rice<\/a> if you want to spice things up.) Then your Mexican haystacks are topped with seasoned ground turkey for a boost of protein. From there, the sky is the limit! Add salsa, tortilla strips, pico de gallo, chopped jalapenos, <a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/guacamole\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">guacamole<\/a>, sour cream, you name it!<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-all-the-toppings\">All the Toppings<\/h2>\n<p>This is just a suggestion of all that you can add! Mexican haystacks are easily customizable and a great meal for any leftover taco meat you may have in your fridge.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Ground Turkey:<\/strong>\u00a0Lean and juicy, it\u2019s the protein powerhouse that gets browned to perfection. (Feel free to swap for ground beef if you prefer!)<\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/therecipecritic.com\/the-best-homemade-taco-seasoning\/\" data-wpel-link=\"internal\" target=\"_self\" rel=\"noopener\">Taco Seasoning<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0A blend of warm spices like chili powder, cumin, and oregano.

For a high-protein, low-carb version, skip the rice and just use shredded lettuce.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Black Beans:<\/strong>\u00a0Drained and rinsed, these protein-packed bites add delicious texture to the haystacks.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Avocado:<\/strong> Creamy and delicious, sliced avocados are a must-add!<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cheddar Cheese:<\/strong>\u00a0Shredded for cheesy, salty goodness in each bite.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tomato &amp; Mango:<\/strong>\u00a0For a burst of freshness.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cilantro:<\/strong>\u00a0Freshly chopped so your Mexican haystacks have an extra boost of flavor.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tortilla Strips:<\/strong>\u00a0My kids\u2019 favorite part.
